The VariZoom VZ-FP FlowPod is the only handheld stabilizer on the market that seamlessly combines stabilizer mode, monopod mode, and low-mode operation into a single, highly versatile tool. Designed for filmmakers, event videographers, and run-and-gun shooters, the FlowPod delivers smooth floating shots, rock-solid stationary support, and dynamic low-angle perspectives—without the need to switch equipment or re-balance the camera.
Perfectly suited for compact HD cameras such as the Sony EX-1, NX5U, Canon XF300, Panasonic HPX-250, AC160, and popular DSLRs including the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, and Rebel T2i, the FlowPod supports camera payloads from 1 to 9 lbs (cameras over 5 lbs require the optional VZ-FP1 weight kit). Its patented built-in monopod system allows the operator to instantly transition between stabilizer and monopod modes in seconds, making it ideal for fast-paced field production.
The FlowPod’s proprietary handle and gimbal design can be unlocked for fluid stabilizer shots or locked inline for solid monopod operation. A precision balancing system with X-Y camera plate adjustment and sliding counterweights ensures fast, accurate setup, while the included balancing plate doubles as a docking stand. With optional low-mode and arm/vest upgrades, the FlowPod grows with your production needs, offering unmatched value and flexibility in a compact, rugged aluminum design.
